Stephen page 3 by ric Gustafson
" Kill him" screamed one of the Council members.
A crowd formed and forced Stephen to walk out of the chamber. The angry mob dragged him through the Dung Gate and into the Valley of Death.
The crowd stopped at a grove of desert pine trees. Standing by the grove was a man named Saul of Tarsus. The Council members dropped their cloaks at Saul's feet and picked up large stones.
The first large stone hit Stephen. He lifted his eyes up to heaven. " Lord Jesus, receive my spirit".
The large stones kept hitting him. " Lord, do not charge them with this sin".
After Stephen died, the Council members took their cloaks from Saul and left.
